INTRODUCTION
Logistics network manage and control the information
optimally with respect to information flow, flow time,
capacity, storage and distribution between the company and
customer. Information flow is the flow of demand data from
company to vendor, vendor to supplier and supplier to
customer so that information flow is needed to be controlled
by perfect planning and accuracy. A logistics network requires
effective information flow for technical support by which
logistics infrastructure resources can be fully utilized and
tracked the information collection, transmission and
operational management. In order to fulfill the task of any
company, it is necessary to organize effective information
flow control with effective functioning and good services. The
implementation of logistics network should take into account
the information needs of links between the company and
customer at various level of management. Cloud Computing
makes it easier to access share and process information in real
time. Cloud computing also provide business to business from
interaction which helps to companies to manage information
flow with accurate automation. Cloud computing can manage
logistics network with advance platform to design and develop
web based infrastructure which can help to achieve better
execution, visibility, cost reduction and collaboration for
information flow control from a company to customer.

LOGISTICS NETWORK
A company adopts logistics network to organize its
connections to the network of supplier, customer and service
provider. Company focuses that which logistics tasks cannot
be completed between the supplier and customer. Logistics
network provides design dimension and optimization of
storage and transmission system. A logistics network
establishes the sources and intermediate connectivity which

CONCLUSION
Logistics Company are integrated with CRM systems,
vendor payments, information handling and requirements
planning and finally with the companys Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) system. Logistics network plays a major role
in organization's Supply chain. Logistics network can be used
by the customers to ordering, receiving, order picking,
dispatch of information, and use of IFC for controlling the
flow of information across the logistics stations. Cloud based
logistics network will give good effect on logistics companies
to improve their competency in the market, and also has the
advantage of less implementation costs and better
connectivity. The continuous development of new
technologies, establishment of networks logistics companies
no longer must invest in self development and IT solutions.
Logistics Company can use the ready-made solutions like
cloud computing. The proposed logistics network over cloud
will improve the process of transmission of orders, reduce
eliminate the reporting process, reduce time processes to
access the information, information flow control and also
evaluate the processes collection, distribution and
visualization at one place.
